Fix perl build problems on Stratus VOS
The attached text files contain patches to correct build problems on the
Stratus VOS (recently renamed "OpenVOS") operating system. I have tested
these changes on OpenVOS Release 17.0, which is the most-current
customer release. None of these changes should affect any other OS.
Makefile.SH: This patch removes the "miniperl" dependency of the "all"
target. On an operating system that does not require an executable
suffix, the miniperl$(EXE_EXT) dependency evaluates to "miniperl", too.
But on an operating system like VOS that does have an executable suffix,
miniperl$(EXE_EXT) evaluates to (in our case) "miniperl.pm" and the
"miniperl" target is unresolved.
ext/Socket/Socket.xs: Sadly, OpenVOS does not yet support IPv6. I edited
the code to allow for this case, while retaining IPv6 support for
operating systems that do support it.
